Chapter 22: The powerful generals of the clan join the camp (please read and ask for monthly votes)
Facing Chen Wu's question, Sun Ce smiled and asked back, "If we fight Jiangdong, we must give up Liyang?"
Chen Wu asked: "Isn't this supposed to be the case? After all, Liyang is north of the Yangtze River. After we cross the Yangtze River, this place should be General Yuan's sphere of influence."
Sun Ce laughed and said, "It is really necessary to set up a martial arts hall in the army to teach the generals about military tactics, military shapes, and military power. What should your impression of the sphere of influence? Yuan Shu controls a large area of land in Huainan?"
Chen Wu thought for a moment and nodded.
Sun Ce smiled and said, "You are misunderstanding. Any territory that can be effectively controlled by any prince is only near the city where his army is stationed. Take Huainan and Xuzhou as an example. Yuan Shu and Liu Bei's sphere of influence are very limited. Yuan Shu's hinterland is in Shouchun and Liu Bei's hinterland is in Xia Pi. Who do you think the territory between Shouchun and Xia Pi is in?"
Chen Wu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it from Xuzhou?"
Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and said, "Then Yuan Shu led tens of thousands of troops to fight for Xuzhou, and his troops went straight into Guangling. These cities were unattended and fell directly into Yuan Shu's hands. When Cao Cao fought eastward, he also sent more than ten cities in a row. Are these cities considered Cao Cao or Tao Qian's?"
Chen Wu thought something and asked, "The general means that all forces do not control the entire territory. Which army is stationed in the city and where is the destination?"
Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction. The reality was not about map dyeing, or wherever Yuan Shu was affected, it was his sphere of influence. In fact, outside his hinterland, large cities were basically in the weak areas of rule. Therefore, when Cao Cao conquers Yuan Shu, he could go straight in.
In this chaotic era, all the foundation of rule and the influence of reputation are empty. Only the army holding swords and halberds can be the most solid control.
Sun Ce's army was stationed in Liyang, so this was Sun Ce's sphere of influence. Yuan Shu wanted to control this place strongly, and there was only one way, just like Liu Yao, to send troops to expel Sun Ce's forces.
Therefore, in history, Sun Ce directly sent his clan brother Sun Fu to station in Liyang to resist Yuan Shu, and lure the remaining people, and Jiu He was scattered.
Sun Ce felt that this deployment was really very clever. Taking Liyang as the front, attracting refugees from Huainan can not only increase the population of Jiangdong, but also accept talents from the Central Plains. It can be said to be a window to improve the level of civilization in the entire Jiangdong.
Then Sun Ce said: "Defending the river first, guarding the Huai River. We must station troops here in Huainan. Even if there are only a few hundred people, Liyang will be firmly in our hands and ignore Shouchun's orders. Therefore, we must govern Liyang and win over the hearts of the people."
Chen Wu was a little confused when he heard it. At least he had never heard of Shoujiang Xianshouhuai, and he didn't understand it very much.
He still felt that staying alone in Liyang in Jiangbei would not be subject to Yuan Shu? Isn’t it safer to withdraw all his troops to Jiangdong? Otherwise, if Yuan Shu comes to attack Liyang, Jiangdong would have to spend a lot of effort to send troops across the river to rescue.
Sun Ce smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't think too much. The simplest truth is that we fought across Jiangdong from Liyang. What if others also fought across Jiangdong along this route?"
Chen Wu took a breath of cold air and felt that the truth was instantly clear.
In order to guard against Liyang's attack, Liu Yao set up bases along the river and deployed a large army.
Whether to defend the entire Yangtze River or defend a military important place in Liyang, it is still easy to make a decision.
Looking at Chen Wu who suddenly realized, Sun Ce said, "You will send orders later and summon the soldiers above the army tonight to teach and practice martial arts. Each team led the supervisors to study the 17 orders and fifty-four beheads!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wu looked bitter and asked, "We need to add learning content? The soldiers only need to learn the 17-19 ban and 54-behead. However, the generals and soldiers have to learn military rules and regulations, learn literature and literacy. Now they have to learn military tactics? I feel that my hair is about to fall out."
Sun Ce laughed and said, "The ancients said that when God is about to give a great responsibility, people must first suffer their minds and minds and muscles, so they can move their hearts and endure their nature, which has made them unable to do so."
To form a powerful force that can fight well in this troubled times, learning-oriented army is undoubtedly the cheapest and most significant way to achieve!
Sun Ce did not believe that a group of officers who were well versed in military tactics, well-known in battlefield experience, and had strict military disciplines would not defeat a turbulent army of princes in troubled times.
Sun Ce has already thought about the content of martial arts talks tonight, so he will talk about the arrangement of the mandarin duck array.
In order to vividly image, he asked someone to carry a wooden board and found a stack of white paper from Huiqu's mansion. This white and soft paper, called Zuobo Paper, is actually no different from later papers. It feels smooth and delicate, and it doesn't exist at all.
After Zuobo paper was released, the Central Plains papermaking had already been equipped with the conditions to completely replace bamboo and silk, so even after Zuobo paper, papermaking had almost no development. Huan Xuan, the minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said, "using paper instead of bamboo slips", and ordered the world to "all those who use bamboo slips will replace them with yellow paper." Paper can immediately and completely replace the status of bamboo and silk.
The famous idiom Luoyang paper in the Jin Dynasty was expensive, which is not so expensive that ordinary people could not afford it. On the contrary, after the publication of "Sandu Fu", the people in Luoyang copied paper, and paper was sold on a large scale, which was not enough to supply, so the price of paper became expensive!
The release of "Three Capitals" is less than a hundred years away from the present. This century is the most tragic Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty, and the technological development is almost zero.
While outlining the patterns on the paper, Sun Ce thought about what time to choose after crossing the Yangtze River to promote Huan Xuan’s use of paper instead of Jian Ling. Huan Xuan was also implementing this government order in Jiangnan, which is a very good reference.
After throwing away a few pieces of waste paper, Sun Ce successfully outlined a military formation figure on the paper that he was satisfied with. It was the basic formation symmetrical left and right of the Mandarin Duck Formation.
With a touch, Sun Ce then drew the change formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation and the Three Talent Formation.
The Mandarin Duck Formation is suitable for hilly terrain where large square formations cannot be expanded in the Jiangnan region, while the Sancai Formation is a horizontal formation suitable for large-scale combat.
The formation is also very simple, namely, the wolf wielder, the spearman and the short soldier are in the center, and the shield is on the left and right sides to protect their attack.
This formation can probably be regarded as a spear square array, which will be arranged from small arrays into huge square arrays. In the middle, there is a neat archer square array to cooperate in combat.
Once this tactic of joint combat between bows, infantry and cavalry is formed, it will be a crushing blow to the mob.
After drawing the formation, Sun Ce called a county official and asked, "Go to the county town to find a painter, copy dozens of these two formation diagrams, and then hand them over to my personal guards to give each of the long-distance hair."
Tonight, we will talk about martial arts and soldiers, so let these generals compare the formation diagrams, arrange the soldiers in front of everyone, and arrange them into formations.
The county official glanced at the stickman on the drawings and admired General Sun's courage. This painting also had the courage to take it out and make people copy it. It was a graffiti work that was completely uninformed in painting skills.
After arranging these, Sun Ce asked his personal guards to bring wooden boards to him and return to the military camp outside the city.
The military camp is now very grand and magnificent. The soldiers logged wood and built trunks, surrounded more than ten acres of land, and set up military tents in it, making it lively.
A large number of military tents were supplemented from Liyang's supplies, and the camp craftsmen were also using cloth to make new tents.
The craftsmen in Liyang City were even taken to the camp, and the soldiers brought supplies from the treasury to them and began to build armor.
The morale of the entire camp was high and full of vitality.
This scene is very different from the deadly army of other princes.
Of course, in order to achieve this effect, Sun Ce's food was consumed like flowing water. Only when the soldiers were full of food could they have this vitality.
When he walked into the tent, Sun Ce said to the guard beside him: "Hold up this wooden board and paste the formation diagram with paste. Tonight we will talk about martial arts and practice soldiers to the formation diagram."
Yang Xiao immediately responded loudly and led his personal guards to arrange the arrangement. He is the most typical vested interest who followed Sun Ce to complete the class leap. He has already regarded all Sun Ce's words as the standard. Sun Ce said that he should learn military tactics, and he is more active than everyone.
"Bo Fu is now quite powerful." Before the person arrived, a tough voice came from outside the tent.
The next moment, a young general who was over eight feet tall and majestic in appearance walked into the big tent. He had a black armor and red robe, a waist, a ring and a sword, a strong demeanor, and a tiger's eyes glared, and ordinary soldiers were terrified.
When Sun Ce saw this powerful general, he smiled and said, "I was still saying that I was going to find you Qingyue in the city."
The person who came was Sun Ce's cousin, so he was the general Xu Kun.
Xu Kun stood in the middle of the tent, and his burly and majestic body made the light in the entire tent dim.
He was nearly ten years older than Sun Ce, so he had a hard beard and beard, which further highlighted his toughness.
After standing still, Xu Kun said, "I saw that the morale in Bofu camp was as bright as a rainbow, far different from other camps. Only in this way can we achieve great achievements."
Sun Ce stood in front of him and said solemnly: "Qingyue, how many people are in your camp? Come and help me, I have prepared three thousand squadrons and cavalry for you."
Xu Kun looked at Sun Ce in front of him. Both of them were more than eight feet tall and were majestic. In the sunshine, they were even more masculine.
Then, Xu Kun's lips slowly rose and said firmly: "Among the many relatives, I always think that only Bo Fu, you are truly talented and able to lead the people to compete for the world. The others are just talented!"
Sun Ce laughed, feeling happy in his heart! There are still people among the relatives who have a keen eye to recognize the beads. They do not consider any disputes about interests, but only for the word "hero", so they lead their troops to support them.
Xu Kun said: "There are more than 300 soldiers in my camp, all of whom can help Bo Fu to fight across Jiangdong and establish achievements."
Sun Ce smiled and said, "Shan. Huiqu's more than 3,000 troops have no master general yet, so you will lead the people."
Xu Kun frowned and said, "Hui Qu's troops? Their military is deflated and Ji Gang is corrupt. The huge scale of these three thousand people is completely wasting food."
Sun Ce took him out of the tent, pointed to the busy camping troops in the distance, and said, "The heroes are a little clear-cut. Their mental outlook is not as good as those newly recruited troops. I plan to streamline the soldiers, gather military uniforms and armor, and uniformly make red clothes for the soldiers."
The crimson clothes are red military uniforms, and the movements are soldiers' leggings.
Veterans have more or less of these things. As long as the scale is reduced, the troops of more than 3,000 people can make up hundreds or even thousands of uniform outfits.
At that time, the selected soldiers in the camp will be replaced with a unified black armored red robe, and the equipment will be exquisite, with a brilliant display, and a neat military appearance. Seeing this scene, the soldiers' spirits will be different from those of the mob.
Xu Kun solemnly promised: "I will do this for Bo Fu to do it properly, streamline the soldiers and tidy up the military."
Sun Ce smiled and said, "I believe in Qingyue's ability. By the way, how is my aunt's health?"
"It's very healthy, why not Bo Fu's come here at night and have a family dinner together?"
"Okay. I'll pick a gift and bring it to my aunt."
While choosing gifts, Sun Ce also thought of going to the treasury to take a look at how much supplies there were in his camp.
It was Lu Fan who helped Sun Ce manage the logistics. It was nothing more, it was absolute trust!
Lu Fan's loyalty and moral character are impeccable.
This loyalty and morality were verified by Sun Quan personally went to Lei Chi.
Historically, after Sun Ce fought against Jiangdong, he asked Lu Fandian to take charge of financial planning and manage finances. Sun Quan was young at that time and had asked Lu Fan for personal matters. Lu Fan said that he would report to Sun Ce first and dare not make any decisions. The two sides had a rift at that time.
When Sun Quan acted as Yang Xian for a long time, he used money for his own personal use. Every time Sun Ce checked the accounts, Gongcao Zhou Gu helped Sun Quan write fake accounts, so that he did not get sued. Sun Quan was very happy at the time, but after taking charge of Jiangdong, he realized that Lu Fan was the true loyalty and loyalty.
Which prince would not like this kind of honest and honest subordinate who is dedicated to the public? Of course, except Lu Bu! So he died quickly.
Managing logistics is a very troublesome thing. When Sun Ce found Lu Fan, he was still holding a heavy bamboo slip to count various materials.
Sun Ce took Zuo Bo's paper from his personal guard and handed it to Lu Fan, saying, "Ziheng, it will be much lighter to use paper instead of simplified paper."
This stack of Zuobo paper has been bound into a book by the county officials with needles and thread. Lu Fan tried to turn a few pages and said, "I heard that the Central Plains had already started to use paper to send messages. Cai Yong, a great man, always writes books, and he will not write them without Zuobo paper. Today, he will be much lighter than bamboo slips."
Sun Ce nodded and said, "We in Jiangdong must also keep pace with the times. With paper and pen as the purpose, statistics and logistics will be more convenient. How are the baggage in the camp now?"
Lu Fan put away the paper book, spread the bamboo slips again, and said to the directory: "I have not counted the details one by one. I will first report some important names for Bo Fu. The first item is silver and money. The materials we collected along the way, plus the supplies in the Liyang Prefecture warehouse, and the supplies in the Hehui Envoy's camp, totaling more than 300 kilograms of gold, more than 600 kilograms of silver, and more than 20 million."
Gold and silver are hard currency, and even in this troubled era, you can buy grain, grain, cloth, war horses, salt and iron.
Although the urban economy has been destroyed, the commodity economy is still in circulation, which is a necessary attribute of society.
But the value of this copper coin collapsed at 20 million. It is hard to say how much grain it can buy back.
Yanzhou is a thousand miles away from the land of the country, and people eat each other, and stone grain is more than 500,000 yuan. These 20 million yuan can only buy forty stone grain, which is pitiful. The situation in Huainan this year is slightly better, but the grain price is getting more expensive.
Sun Ce said: "Let Sun He lead his soldiers to give all the money to Liyang County Magistrate Shao Zhuo, so that he would purchase grain, cloth and shoes regardless of the price in the city."
Lu Fan nodded and said, "Now the world is chaotic, and the price of grain is rising every day. If the money is not spent early, it will be kept in your hands sooner or later, it will become a pile of scrap iron."
This is not a good phenomenon. Even officials do not recognize the value of copper coins. The current copper coins system is likely to collapse sooner or later.
Sun Ce gritted his teeth: "Dong Zhe has endless poisons, and he really wishes to crush his bones and ashes. He burned the Jin people of the First Emperor, cast small coins, and even made money. After we arrived in Jiangdong, we must mint new coins."
